Now that the winter weather is starting to hit the area, it’s important to consider any changes you will make to your vehicle. One huge difference you can make it is to switch our your current tires for winter tires, also known as snow tires.

The difference between winter tires and regular tires is simple: While standard, all-season tires are decently equipped to function throughout the year, winter tires are made especially for snowy, icy conditions.

The tread on winter tires is specially designed to create maximum friction and grip on snow and ice with more, detailed siping – making it less likely that you will lose control of your vehicle.

Winter tires are also formulated with a different kind of rubber that remains more flexible at lower temperatures, and, the particular tread patterns within the rubber make it more difficult for snow to build up.

And when the highway is coated in a slick layer of ice – additional grip, flexibility, and lack of build-up can absolutely mean the difference between a car collision and smooth sailing.

Though few could complain that the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata has a lackluster design – technicians at the TRA Kyoto shop have amped up the new Miata with one of their signature Rocket Bunny Wide Bodykits.

The Rocket Bunny kit seriously widens the look of the new MX-5 Miata, with hugely enlarged front and rear fenders – in addition to the signature Rocket Bunny rear wings and rollcage.

It’s clear that the model has been adapted for racing, and it’s a safe bet that the MX-5 Miata with Rocket Bunny kit will be a force to be reckoned with on the tracks. Luckily, a sneak peek of a race-ready version can be seen here.

Plus, the Rocket Bunny Miata will be making an appearance at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon, where it is sure to be in good company with other stunning models.
